Book Review – Skipping Christmas

Skipping Christmas

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Commercial Fiction, Holiday

Skipping Christmas

As the big day nears, I was in the spirit to read a Christmas book.

One of my favorite Christmas movies is Christmas with the Kranks so this year I wanted to read Skipping Christmas by John Grisham. I have had it on the To Be Read shelf for years and I can’t believe that it has taken me this long to read it. Well this is the year! As this year will be so different than any other due to Covid, it felt very fitting. I’m sure that there are so many people out there just wanting to skip the holiday altogether. I don’t blame you. Unfortunately, we can’t escape on a cruise (yikes, no way) or to an island paradise somewhere and forget. Hopefully you are still able to enjoy the season with family and love ones safely.

If you haven’t seen the movie or read the book, I suggest you do! It is sooo cute and funny, I just love them both!
